150th Celebration 1867-2017

In 1867 , a group of God fearing true believers assembled themselves together and unitede near this present site to work for the glory of God and the building of His Kingdom.
Two of the ministers who organized this movement were Minister Newman , who was not a ordained minster, and Sam Newman, the frist pastor to render a revial and baptism at this site. The church was giving the name Mount Zion Baptist Church .
The Lord sent quite a few ministers to Mount Zion during this time. These included Square Sims, Ed Jefferson, Rush Rose . In 1926 Kelly was called to pastor. He was not paid a salary, but received 2/3 of what the church received. Each member was asked to pay .35 per month.
During this period of Historical Awareness, The Mount Zion Baptist Church is grateful to God for the loving favors and sustaing grace that have kept this congregation alive and witnessing during these years. We seek His continuous guidance as we pause to give respect and bestow honor upon the pioneers of this geat Zion.
